9/1

Two wins from 6 runs last year. 10/1, below form when fourth of 5 in nursery at Kempton (7f). Not seen since September and this step up in trip/gelding operation needs to have had the desired effect.

13/8

Forecasts

Subjective Value (13/8), City Runner (11/4), Neat And Dandy (7/1), Havana Goldrush (8/1), Bastogne (8/1), Manhattanville (9/1)

A few in with chances in this feature contest but SUBJECTIVE VALUE is going through a good spell at present so Charlie & Mark Johnston's charge gets the vote to double his career tally and bring up C&D victory number 2. City Runner opened his account on all-weather/handicap debut at Southwell last month so he can provide the main threat, with Neat And Dandy next on the list.
